You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
After the recent Fabio post, I was disappointed that my reference to the original Fabio got not a hint of recognition, so here is my post and the article in question (no need to thank me):
"Not the same Fabio who killed a goose with his face at the start of a publicity rollercoaster ride 20 years ago?" (Ok I got the year wrong).

I had no idea!
Clicked on thread to find out what 'Man miles goose' means.
Leaves no wiser.
Glad it's not just me then wwaswas.
when a big hitter has to start a new post to highlight their previous post because no one noticed it's time to revoke the badge

Eh?
Fabio? Goose? Miles?
Tragic story. Should be made into a movie.
🙂
I cried when Goose died.
I liked his moustache.
Dead Goose? Already been done. EDIT: panther too quick...
Nope, I've added my own random punctuation in that sentence and I can't get it to make sense. Is it it about spoons or respraying wheels in your bedroom?
Sorry Al, you'll need to explain. 😉
None the wiser - standard mode for me really.
We've been reeling from the aftershocks ever since
Er... Of course we have.
I feel as though my life is now complete.
Intriguing story. I had no idea of margarine man. Still don't actually.
I haven't followed the link or know the story but I saw the original thread and dismissed it on the basis it was about a Skoda (isn't the Fabio one of their range?)
I thought I'd miled a goose once, turned out to be a rabbit
If you read the title in a Mark E Smith voice it makes perfect sense uh.
yeah, but you didn't "mile" it either, did you. Dirty bastard !
It's been a publicity rollercoaster ride for the OP, that's for sure.
So... how does one go about miling a goose?
I thought I’d miled a goose once
Which number of face did you use and how long ago did you bite?

This is how you mill a goose.
It's actually an anagram of a coded message.
Fortunately I wasn't going near Basingstoke this weekend anyway.
Makes you think...
I know exactly what you are talking about, just shame I haven’t read the other thread.
Messed his nose up good and proper!
Man miles
Goose with face 19
And a bit

Ago.

Head over for a gander?
Honk if you're horny.
I should have said you should see his beak now. He looked very annoyed, practically spitting feathers.
He should have duck down instead.
I reckon surviving head butting a goose should be a feather in your cap.
It's an odd post, about an odd event nearly 2 decades ago... but I do remember it happening at the time. The only thing I knew about Fabio was that 'The Word' 'The Girlie Show' and 'Eurotrash' used to take the mick out of him.
I didn’t know it had happened, but I’m glad I do now!
Ha ha, bloody autocorrect!
I thought it was funny...
It’s obviously three spurious references taken out of context:
1. “Man miles” as in, I cycled fifteen man miles today. And now I feel epic;
2. “goose with face” as in, “I saw a goose with a face like a horse”;
3. “19 and a bit years ago” as in, “I cycled fifteen man miles, 19 and a bit years ago.”
I'm bumping this because I want others to read it in the morning and be as confused as I was.
I'm just here to get ideas to liven up swingers' night next month.
Time flies.
Bet that hurt like hell.
Didn’t ruin his face then? considering he was a model?
Good old Eurotrash.
Fabio and Gooserider?

Mission accomplished. I have no idea what’s going on here
